To allwhom it may concern: 2 p

Be it known that I, Srmxusnaw Srancznx, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at Cobalt, Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag- Holders for Trucks, of which the following is a specification, reference being had there@ into the accompanying drawings.

' Thisinvention relates to a bag holderfor trucks, and the primary object of my invention is to furnish a truck with a bag holding devicethat can be raisedand lowered relatively tothe truck to correctly position a bag and facilitate filling the same.

V Another object of this invention is to provide-a portable bag holding device that will retain the mouth or openend of the bag open whereby the bag can be easily and quickly filled.

further object of this invention is to accomplish the above results by a mechanical construction that is durable, inexpensive to manufacture and highly eiiicient for the urposes for which itis intended.

-With the above and other objectsin view,

the invention resides in a novel construction,

combination and arrangement of parts to be p claimed. 30

hereinafter specifically described and then Reference will now be had to the parts throughout the several views, m which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a truck in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a verticalsectional view of the same. Fig. 3

isa front elevation of the truck. Fig. 1 is a a perspective viewofa detached shiftable frame adapted to form part of the truck, and Fig. ,5 is a perspective view of the detached-bag holding arm.

r The reference numerals 1 and 2 denote the side frames of a truck, said frames having there are mounted wheels 5. The lower ends of the frames 1 and 2 have an angularly has the bottom side thereofcut awayas at 10 whereby it can easily rest upon the axle drawing, wherein'hke numerals denote corresponding the lower ends thereof connected by a trans verseaxle 3 upon the spindles 4c of which 3 as shown in Fig. 2. The ends of the backance for the guides 8 of the frames 1 and 2, said back-bar engaging the front side of said guides. The Jback-bar 9, intermediate the ends thereofhas an upright 12 and suit: ably connected tothis uprightis a transverse guide-bar 13, the ends of which extend behind the guides 8 of the ,frames 1 and 2, said guide-bar co'o'perating with the backbar'9 in preventing the shiftable framefrom becoming accidentally displaced.

The upper end of the upright 12 has a socket .14 and pivotally connected to said socket by a screw 15 or other fastening arms 16. The arms 16 are semi-circular in plan and the confronting sides of bag holding arms have hooks 17 for supporting the upper edges or mouth of a bag. The back-bar 9 has forwardly extending arms 18 cooperatewith the upright 12 in supporting an angle platform 20, preferably made of metal. Connected to the outer sides of the arms 18 are the lower ends of braces 21 that extend through the vertical portion of the platform and are connected to the rear side of the guide-bar 13.

The rear side of the back-bar 9 is provided with staples or pins 22 and connected to said staples are cables 23. The cables 23 have the upper ends thereof connected to a single staple 24, carried by a roller 25 that has'the ends thereof journaled in the the roller 25 has a rectangular shank 26 and mounted upon said shank is a large hand wheel 27 provided'with a handle 28.. The periphery of the hand wheel 27 has ratchet teeth 29 that are normally engaged by a outer'side of the frame 2. 1

' It is through the medium of the roller 25 that the cables 23 can bewound thereon to elevate the shiftable frame relatively to the frames 1 and 2 of the truck. Withrthe shiftcan be readily placed upon the platform 20 17 After a bag has been filled that is held platform 20' can be lowered until the back bar are cut away as at 11 to provide clear-' means are the rear ends of bag holding connected by a transverse strip 19 adapted. to rest upon the support 6. The arms18 able frame in an elevated position, the bag and the'mouth of the bag maintained in an, i open position by the arms 16 and the hooks by the arms 16, and the platform 20,;the

3 "Patented Nov. 3, 1914 frames 1 and 2 of the truck. One end of i gravity pawl 30 pivotally connectedto the rbar restsupon the axle'3 and the strip 19 7 upon the support The upper edges of the.

bag can then be removed from the hooks 17 prevents the roller 25 from unwinding when p the cables 23 are wound thereon to retain posed upright,-an angle-sha the shiftable frame in What I claim is Ina bag holder for trucks, a support having a vertically movable frame including a back-bar provided with a centrally dis ed platform mounted on said frame, said rame further including apair of 'side bars, a transverse disposed s'trlp mounted on said platform an elevated position.

andcdisposed below the planes of jthe of i bars n d p' nd ng below the said side. 1 bars, a pair of curved arms pivoted to said 20 an angle-shaped uprights; a transverse guidefbar secured to the back of said uprights,

platform having braces extending througlrf the vertical portion thereof and being secured to' 'the's'aid" guide bar and to the side bars of the frame.
